Blast from the past! Remember when..
I remember when cigarette commercials aired on TV. I remember when smoking was allowed on commercial airlines. I remember when school chalkboards transitioned to whiteboards. I remember when it was trendy for girls to gather their t-shirt and tie a knot at the bottom. I remember when crimped bangs were really cool. I…

Join me? 25NYS Challenge
I've made a personal goal to lose at least 25 pounds by January 1, 2013. I was hoping I could find some others that are interested in shredding 25lbs, or more, by New Years. I'm aiming to drop 5lbs each month but of course, you lose at your own pace. I setup a group for us, too. Search: 25lbs New Years Shred Challenge…

Anyone in Chicago? Question :)
My sister and I will be flying out to Chicago at the end of October. How cool does it get there around that time? Is it layering weather? Sweater weather? Or jacket weather? I've heard it gets windy and can get chilly. We got winter gear, as we're coming out of Utah BUT if we don't need to haul around bulky wardrobe - the…

Anyone Facebookless?
Just curious. My husband and I have FB. I use mine a lot, he never uses his. Most of our friends and family are networked on FB, which is nice, helps us stay in touch with each other. Other than older relatives, I have ONE friend that does not have FB, never has, and never intends on registering for an account.

When to get your first tattoo?
I assume that the ideal time to get your first tattoo would be once you achieve your weight loss goal. That said, how long would you recommend "maintenance" before getting inked? Six months? A year? A year and a half? Two years? Any personal experiences or thoughts on the matter?

Not quite 6 degrees..
I name an actor/actress and the role he/she plays in a movie. Example: Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man in Avengers The next poster must connect another actor/actress IN that movie BEFORE adding a new movie. Example: Chris Evans (Captain America) in Fantastic Four Then the next poster repeats. Example: Jessica Alba (Sue…

Lose the weight, lose the partner?
I was a bit saddened after reading a thread on another weight loss forum. I'll refer to the OP as Jane Doe. For about a year, Jane Doe has been proactive about her weight loss, and finally reached her end goal in June. Now, 30 pounds lighter, she questions if she "really loves" her boyfriend of almost 10 years. He is not…

Any SLC Utah MFPers?
Fingers crossed but it looks like I MIGHT be able to breakaway on Saturdays to attend morning Yoga and Zumba classes at my local recreational centre. I had a baby, so it's been awhile since I've done anything on this level of activity. I did a shoutout on my MFP status but so far no responses :[ I'm hoping I may have some…

Best DVD workouts?
Due to various circumstances I am unable to use the gym. In addition, the downtown air isn't great for running or cycling in, so I avoid that. Can anyone recommend a workout regimen on DVD? I'm at a point where I really need to incorporate some moderate exercise throughout my week AT HOME. Thanks.

How do you eat your peanut butter?
I love peanut butter but it's tough to enjoy this simple pleasure when 2 tablespoons equate to 190 calories - almost 200! So chowing down on a peanut butter dessert is even worse. Boo hiss! For those of you that keep a strict calorie allotment, and MUST have peanut butter in your diet, how do you manage to squeeze it in…

Help me make a 7 Day Menu Plan!
Today is Monday and the day is almost spent. I would very much appreciate ideas on pulling together a 7 Day Menu plan. Actual recipes are most helpful, with approximate caloric measurements per serving. I feed only two people - me and my husband. So any ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks is great! Thanks.

Some pudgy before & after pix of Pudge
Wow, took me a moment to figure out how to post images.. Anyway, I wanted to share some OLD progress pictures, and say that I know how hard it is to lose weight. Having a history of ED, I have endured the rollercoaster of major weight loss and major weight gain. These pictures are of me at my heaviest of 163 pounds, and…

Crossed over from Lose It and now I need some new friends!

I really need some buddies that can relate to being overweight and SHORT. I am proactive about logging my…

What's your niptuck game plan?
I'm not convinced that I'll undergo, or need to undergo, elective plastic surgery once I achieve my goal weight but the thought lingers periodically. For those of you that are considering this, what's your niptuck game plan? Some more specific questions: How will you mentally prep for it? How will you finance it? What…
